New Jersey's premier full service recording & mastering studio for power pop, indie-classic-garage-psychedelic rock & more! Just 45 min from NYC in Highland Park NJ, the studio features analog/ digital formats and a full compliment of vintage tube gear and mics. Previous clients include The Smithereens, Mark Lindsay, Gary Lucas, Najma Akhtar, The Grip Weeds, The Doughboys, Ladysmyth Black Mambazo

and many more. House of Vibes Productions offers the artist a very unique recording experience, providing a comfortable, professional recording environment in which the musicians and producers can function at their most creative level. Artists have been drawn to The House of Vibes because it gives them the opportunity to work with Musician-Producers who lend combined production experience, musical ability and a sympathetic ear to help achieve their vision. House of Vibes Productions began as a project studio used only to record demos for the Grip Weeds, but soon expanded in 1993 to offer low-cost recording services with "the personal touch" to other artists. In 1996, partners Kurt Reil, Rick Reil and Kristin Pinell, also of The Grip Weeds, purchased a property in Highland Park, NJ, and installed a new recording studio facility on the basement level. As more outside artists were drawn to the House of Vibes, the studio has undergone many major equipment upgrades to achieve the best possible sound quality and currently offers several recording formats, including 2" 16/24 track analog high resolution digital audio. House Of Vibes now offers digital mastering as part of our services via a dedicated mastering suite. The studio specializes in, but is not limited to, production of Power Pop, Psychedelic Rock, Folk Rock and Garage Rock music and encourages the use of natural-sounding non-synthetic musical instruments...

You know how I am. You know I spend my life seeking out “the sound.”  The sound that makes me want to drive the car just a little faster. The sound that inspires kitchen dancing without caring that the neighbors can see me bopping around in the middle of the day.

Today is my brother Kurt's Birthday! Such a great talent as a writer, performer, producer, recording engineer, and he works his ass off. It's also a very special Birthday year (he is 29) so we will be celebrating this weekend big time!

Well, here's a great birthday gift! "The Grip Weed's version of "Dandelion" is majestic and meaty. It carries more weight than the original and lands with more conviction where it matters." Thanks Ray!

Grip Weeds session last night for the upcoming new album- Kristin tracked a lap steel solo. The old 1956 Gibson lap steel has the battle scars (and 'bandages') to prove it!

Congrats to Mark Lindsay on his 100th American Revolution show on SiriusXM's Little Steven's Underground Garage! Mark (and his wife Deb) puts a lot of care into each show and you get a sense of the man from the songs he chooses. I doff my tri-cornered hat to him for the props he gave me, The Grip Weeds and The House Of Vibes towards the end of the show after playing one of our songs. He talked about the recent interview I did for TapeOp magazine which included some anecdotes about our working together in the studio. Read about it here, and by all means tune into The American Revolution every weekend for musical cues from the master!
